I have done. Farmers are protesting today. There is no modicum of fairness in the fact that farmers will not get the money they have invested, spent and borrowed in order to develop their industry in line with the commitment in the programme for Government. They have been given every reason for delays, the latest of which is IT problems. If they are late with returns to the tax office or in arrears they would be charged huge penalties, as would everybody else.
